Student killed as school van falls into roadside dry stream
A Class VII student, Harivelan, was killed after he fell down from a speeding school van that fell into a dry stream near Saruganendal under Tiruppachethi police station limits on Tuesday.
Twenty students and three school staff sustained simple injuries.
According to police, the van which was transporting students from Vembathur was proceeding towards the school in Periyakottai.
When it was approaching Saruganendal, the driver, Suresh Kumar, lost control of the van and it veered off the road and fell into the dry stream.
With the door of the van kept open, the boy was thrown out of the vehicle and he fell down. He died of head injuries, Inspector of Police M. Rajkumar said.
The vehicle overturned after rolling down for nearly eight feet into the stream.
The All-India level NEET examination was started a few years ago to counter complaints of corruption during the joint entrance examinations held at the State level. AIDSO had warned the authorities that the solution to the menace of corruption was not changing the examination system, but to investigate the corruption and punish the guilty.
